On Saturday walking through town I saw a young woman wearing a Louis Theroux T-shirt.
Not to knock Mr Theroux but it did seem an odd choice for a T-shirt.
Any other odd choices spotted, advertising an allegiance to someone or something

I’ve got one with a picture of Windy Miller on it which says “Windy” under it. My 7 year old daughter related it to intestinal gas production last time I wore it.
A few years back I saw a very neatly-presented old gent on the Bangkok Skytrain. He’d been shopping at the Emporium Food Hall, very hi-so, and his clothes were impeccable and high quality. Except for an odd choice of t-shirt. The design consisted of five words in a modish gothic-thorny font, perhaps not that easy to decipher if the Roman alphabet is just code to you. The message? “Now Let’s Suck My Cock.”
I’ve seen a few Louis T Shirts on Amazon. Must be “a thing” I suppose.
Slightly off topic, I posted on a band’s facebook page recently that I was probably wearing the oldest T Shirt at last night’s gig (from 1991). Someone beat me by two years!
A mate of mine has an original Donington 1983 T-shirt that he wears when trying to impress. Quite who, I don’t exactly know, but that’s beside the point. The point being that it still bloody fits him.
Currently sporting a BBC Records and Tapes tee.
Isn’t that entirely congruous?
Certainly has me thinking of congruous.
Er..
Depends on your point of view I suppose. The person in the OP with a Louis Theroux shirt likely thinks it’s perfectly reasonable.
I saw a chap only this afternoon with one that read “Raised on Supermarionation” with Supermarionation in the style of the end title on Gerry Anderson productions, as can be seen via this link-

Next you’ll be saying that a Paul Ross mug is not something that everyone would want. Which would be treasonous.
Louis Theroux is A Thing. My daughter (14) follows various Twitter and FB accounts about the man, especially No Context Louis Theroux

And of course the man himself. She loves his documentaries. As someone recently diagnosed as being in the autistic spectrum herself, I think she has a fellow feeling for him (not that it is known he is, she just thinks he is).
Louis Theroux is about 50, I think.
It could be that the nation’s 14-16 year olds think he’s an old duffer who’s always on telly and is fair game for some affectionate lampooning. Like we did in the 80s with Bob Holness, Jim Bowen and Hugh Scully.
You could sidestep tiresome teenage tribalism by claiming to be a Holly boy, a Bowenite or a Scullywag.
Going somewhat off-topic, but still T-shirt related, I saw a girl the other day wearing a T-shirt displaying “Sorry I’m Late. I didn’t want to come”
Hey! That’s what Wheaty needs to wear to his appraisal!
